Abstract

A dip coating apparatus includes a container, a separating plate, an air intake, at least one driving module, and at least one carrying base. The separating plate separates the container into a first chamber and a second chamber, and defines a through opening communicating the two chambers. The first chamber is configured for drying workpieces, and the second chamber is configured for carrying coating liquid to coat the workpieces. The air intake takes drying air into the first chamber. The driving module is mounted on the separating plate. The carrying base carries the workpieces, and is connected to the driving module and positioned in the second chamber. Driven by the driving module, the carrying base is able to dip the workpieces into the coating liquid for coating, and is able to cover the through opening and expose the workpieces to the first chamber for drying.

Dependent claims

A dip coating apparatus for coating workpieces, comprising:

a container;
a separating plate mounted in the container and separating the container into a first chamber and a second chamber, the separating plate defining a through opening communicating the first chamber with the second chamber, wherein the first chamber is configured for drying the workpieces, and the second chamber is configured for carrying coating liquid to coat the workpieces;
a first air intake communicated with the first chamber for taking drying air into the first chamber;
at least one driving module mounted on the separating plate;
and
at least one carrying base positioned in the second chamber and configured for carrying the workpieces, each carrying base connected to a corresponding driving module;
wherein the at least one driving module is capable of driving the at least one carrying base to dip the workpieces into the coating liquid for coating, the at least one driving module is also capable of driving the at least one carrying base to cover the through opening such that the workpieces expose to the first chamber for drying through the through opening.
